2014 Map of Samuelson Ranch

About this map

The Samuelson Ranch stands as a focal point in this portion of the Powder River Basin, situated near the winding path of Pumpkin Cr. This landscape is defined by the intersection of high plains ranching and the protected timberlands of the Custer National Forest, which covers a significant portion of the western and northern terrain. Water is the critical resource here, marked by isolated points like Manning Spring and Gun Spring, as well as numerous drainage systems including Sixmile Cr and Titus Cr that carve through the dry hills. Transport through this southeastern Montana region relies on Us-212, which cuts diagonally across the quadrangle, and secondary routes like Sayle Rd, providing essential connectivity between isolated homesteads and larger regional centers.
